Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Gis, is it all right if we wanted to use the same book we read for our blind date challenge to fulfill one of these categories?

That'a fine. However, if you want it to be more challenging, I encourage you use different books for each challenge. :)


message 45: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments I'll only use it if I become desperate. LOL I was just curious, but I'll most likely read several other books to fit the category anyway, which is "peculiar people."
